Most discussions of industrial policies centre on the manufacturing sector, overlooking the fact that services sectors account for much larger shares of almost every nation’s GDP. The service sector trade also continues to grow faster than goods trade. Yet little is known about the range of selective policy interventions deployed in services sectors.
